Since the design was confirmed on Wii U GamePad, many rumors suggest that Sony will present a check with a design similar to the Nintendo console for PlayStation 4. It also assumes that next Wednesday will receive tangible information on the design of the PS4, but in the European Patent Office appeared a document which establishes the concept of "EyePad" format control having touch pad tablet, motion tracking and wireless communication. Is it just a set of ideas on paper, or are we about the future of the "pads" in Sony?

The theory stated that the gamepad on the Nintendo Wii U would be one of the keys that would allow the Nintendo achieve reasonably successful sales. The numbers indicate that this was not so: The Wii U just surpassed the barrier of three million units (so far), and has already cut its sales expectations in the month of March. Obviously, Nintendo is not solely responsible for this situation, but the "magic" of a revolutionary control with the Wii was sold out, and console, to succeed, requires much more. Now, all heads turn toward Sony. The PlayStation 4 almost can feel in the air. Wednesday's event is full of expectations about the specifications and design of the console.



And recently, it appeared just seen: A patent from Sony, with the concept of a new control called EyePad. Anyone who wants to can fully explore the full PDF of seventeen pages of text and some images isolated, but summarizing a little the EyePad is a control with a format similar to a tablet, brings a touch pad, motion sensors in six-axis joystick controls and conventional illuminated edges that deliver functionality similar to the one with the PlayStation Move. However, there's more: The EyePad also features stereo cameras, which generate a kind of "virtual space" on the control, in which you can enter, and most likely track objects.

The patent was filed in July 2012 and published on Wednesday. The text has direct references to the PlayStation 3, therefore, it is possible that at the time of preparing the patent, the more EyePad was imagined as an accessory for the PS3 as a new control to the next generation of consoles. Perhaps the patent EyePad simply be resting until someone develops a similar device and Sony can exercise "legal leverage" enough. Personally, the idea of ??a tablet format control does not convince me. The control must pass "trust" in the grip. be robust and responsive offer as high as possible. However, I am willing to change my mind if the design and performance are correct. We'll see what we teach Sony on Wednesday, 20.
